The drop rate in Feralas seems to have been increased to compensate for there only being one monster that drops these scales. I got 3 scales after killing 6 whelps with skinning 525.

these are dropped by the noxious whelp in feralas (skinned and got about 20 in 30 minutes) great also for farming heavy leather and maybe get lucky and one will dropped one the companion pets.

I farmed for quite a bit using the guild gathering bonus for being in a lvl 25 guild. I estimate killing 141 whelps (seems that each dropped either a dragon bone or tiny fang so I counted those) and got (from skinning):

I only found whelps in two areas around Jadenar Lake (in Northern Feralas), on the east side and on the northwest side going up the hill. About 15 spawn in the NW; 10 in the east. Only got the bonus twice on the scales, 1 additional scale for each. I was disappointed about the heavy: medium leather ratio since the scales go with heavy leather only.

Are these confirmed to drop? Or do they only drop with skinning profession? Going on 100 kills and 0 drops. Should have roughly 18 - 20.
